How To Make Chimichurri Sauce

Step 1

Marinate the garlic and shallot. Combine the garlic, shallot, vinegar, and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Process with the herbs. Transfer the garlic mixture (including liquid) to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment or blender. Add the parsley, basil, and cilantro and pulse to finely chop.

Step 3

Add the oil. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil in a thin stream. This should take about 1 minute.

Step 4

Season. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Add the coriander, cumin, and salt. Pulse once or twice to combine.

Step 5

Use or serve. Use the sauce as a marinade, or serve over grilled or roasted meat.
